Mid to late Jan cold talk

As of this morning KOKV has recorded 12 single-digit lows this month alone.  Tonight may make #13.  Pretty remarkable.

Dulles is up to 10 now in Jan which is the most in Jan since 1988.  Will finish top 2 or 3 for Jan there.

MODIS imagery from a week ago already shows some ice on the northern Chessy.  I bet it's even more clear today.

Here's a couple days later on the 24th.  Little more ice in the northern Bay.  That was the last clear day with a good MODIS image.

Wow, that is a lot of ice on the bay. Hopefully someone can check stats and see the last time there was more coverage. I'm too lazy. 

 

Looks like Saturday will be the peak for ice season before it starts taking some hits. Even if we go back to the freezer later in Feb I doubt it will recover much. Northern rivers may be ice covered through most of the month if advertised cold in the lr verifies.

Thanks Scuddz

 

I figured 03 was a good one. I'm surprised @ 04. I don't remember that year that well I guess. Maybe because it wasn't snowy like 03. 

 

We might beat 05 by saturday morning. Next 2 nights should add a bunch below the bridge and eastern bay. 

 

 

 

Just finished today's
